stop the bleeding
blood
blood is red liquid
blood circulates in arteries & veins
blood is warm
blood is the stuff that makes our hearts beat
blood is life
•
blood is the stuff that makes us be alive
and
blood is what makes us all the same
living beings
blood is what unites us
blood is red
•
in humans
and non human animals
in old & young
and in between
in woman & man
and in between
in dark and light skinned,
and all in between
in 2 and 4 legged.
and even the ones with fins
when we bleed we are hurt
a cut
a bullet hole
a leak in life
bleeding is the same for all
blood stops circulating when life says goodbye
for some when time is up
for others, when time has come.
nonhuman animals loose theirs daily
taken from them
brutal and full of violence
to be food.
humans loose theirs on the streets,
for the colour of their skin
for loving who they love
for being born where they were
blood is life
life is precious
lets stop the bleeding
together
